Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Hey ... every weekend is a good time to play guitar, whether you can do it inside or outside. I AM looking forward however to taking these grandchildren home in another six weeks though. Then I plan on heading to the North Carolina beach front for a much needed vacation in May. The guitar WILL be there. |

Big secret to prevent heart attack.
How slow can you go when shovelling snow.

The kids in my neighborhood refuse to move from in front of their Wii or Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 or Japanese Anime-fest or whatever it is that keeps them cooped up inside all day. The first, last and only time I asked a neighbor's kid if he wanted to earn some cash by shoveling my drive he told me, "Not really. If I did it, you'd have to pay me like $25, because that's what my mom gives me for an allowance and I don't even have to do any work."
That was several years ago. He was nine. Maybe his attitude has changed, but I doubt it. His parents driveway doesn't get shoveled, either. |

If things keep going the way they are, there will probably be some of those adults looking for shoveling jobs here in Sparkle City, too. :(
My snowblower died a couple of (or maybe three) years ago. I noticed the guy next door, who is in his sixties and had gone through three major surgeries that year, was still shoveling his driveway by hand. I figured if he could do it, there was no reason for me to be lazy. So, I started shoveling. Good exercise. Like has been said, go slow and it's all good. I also fired my lawn guy that spring. He only ever showed up when he needed money, and then had a tendency to bill me for weeks he never did any work. I went back to mowing my own yard. Gets me out of the house (and out of housework, but don't tell my wife...heh). |

Or a pensioner, four driveways gets me a set of Elixir Lights 11152 Nanowebs for my 12 string. Plus the exercise eliminates the health club fees.
Edited.
PS. You beat me Cruster, I type so slow. Of course you guys don't read too fast. |

12 miles north of Cadillac. Get out. We were just up at Caberfae a couple weeks ago. Took our 7yo son snowboarding (well, I went skiing, no boarding for me!). Was a lot of fun, but that -10 wind chill was a killer. ;) |
